The Last Jihad - Joel C. Rosenberg
Maybe I shouldn't write a review of a book that I haven't finished yet, but this one is too good to wait on (I would be reading it right now, but I might get fired!) The Last Jihad is set in "a few years in the future" though it is kind of out-of-date (due to the fact that it was written before we went to war in Iraq). The story gives a great picture of what might have happened if we had not gone on the offensive with Iraq. I am not sure if I agree with the war we are currently fighting in the Middle East (I still have questions about why we are there) but one thing is clear: If we had not attacked Iraq, it would only be a matter of time before they attacked us (again?). I would tell you to check out the first chapter of this book, but be forewarned, you might not be able to stop there.

i didn't know that we were at war with iraq. i thought that it was the terrorists?
I never said we were "at war with iraq", I said we went to war in Iraq... yes we are fighting terrorists, and we have taken out a "terrorist" nation (the old Iraq). Thus, we did go to "war" with Iraq! We can't simply be at war with a concept (terrorism), we must be fighting actual people (and my example was the people in Iraq - not that they are even from Iraq)...anyhow, thanks for the anti-communist comment Nate.
